KAINGO LODGE
South
Luangwa National Park
Kaingo is a small, exclusive camp,
deep within the South Luangwa National Park. This camp
is renowned for excellent game sightings, particularly
leopard. As the number of guests is limited to ten, you
will enjoy a personalised and exclusive safari.
The Camp
Kaingo consists of five comfortable thatched chalets,
each with its own bathroom and a view of the river. All
windows are screened and mosquito nets are provided. On
the banks of the river is a large "chitenge", a thatched
open-sided dining room/lounge, and a platform, built out
over the water, both for easy viewing of animals coming
down to drink.
 Upstream from the camp is a resident
herd of hippopotamus. There is a hide for those wishing
to photograph and observe these and other animals
closely.
Catering is of a high standard and
meals are prepared in our rustic kitchen with modern
amenities. There is a well stocked bar. Safe drinking
water is drawn from a borehole. Solar power is used to
provide lighting, thus preserving the tranquillity of
the African night.
 Walking Safaris
A speciality in the area and the most relaxing way to
appreciate the wild and natural beauty of the valley. To
ensure your safety an armed scout and a guide will lead
you and interpret the fascinating details of bush lore
and animal and bird behaviour. Nothing can surpass the
thrill of big game viewing on foot at close quarters.
Walking Safaris were pioneered in the South Luangwa
National Park and the vegetation is ideally suited to
this type of game viewing.
Game Drives
A comfortable alternative to walking. Open 4WD vehicles
with high seats for ease of viewing and photography are
used. Our qualified and experienced guides will be able
to take you to areas not commonly visited. Wildlife
tends to be more at ease when viewed from a vehicle.
Night Drives
Game viewing at night is an unusual experience. With the
aid of a powerful spotlight, nocturnal animals such as
lion, leopard, porcupine, hyena and civet can be
observed. Birds include nightjars, Pel's Fishing Owl and
the curious Bathawk.
 Mwamba Bush Camp
Kaingo now has a bush camp deep in the heart of the
park.
From our
camps over 300 bird species have been recorded ; seasonal
highlights include the spectacular carmine bee-eater colony,
celebrated fishing parties and amazing quelea displays.
